Welsh
Quilting Betty Neff from Pennsylvania brings her workshop from Quilt Odyssey to us in Sarnia. The region of Wales, part of Great Britain, has had an indelible impact on American quilting. Their “quilting style” remains unparalleled to this day. Students will learn to identify the unique addictive Welsh quilting style. Betty will teach students the three basic steps to creating a design (hands-on) and transferring it to their fabric, ready to quilt on their own. Machine quilters, no matter how skilled, will come away with an expanded repertoire of quilting designs. Class time will allow for a machine demonstration. This class should improve, both in idea and execution, the way you approach a quilting design.
**Betty’s husband, Richard, will
NOT be along with his expertise in repair and
maintenance of Featherweights.
Suitable for all skill
levels.

The author of “Sensational Sashiko” brings to us this exciting workshop to learn the Japanese technique of stitchery. This is a non-traditional approach to a traditional needle art form. Sharon’s theory is that if can be done by hand, it can be done by machine and sashiko is no exception. Originating as the “common” man’s garment decoration, sashiko has been adopted by quilters to add exciting designs to their quilt tops and garments. Using your sewing machine and heavy weight threads, learn how to achieve this stunning embellishment on either a single thickness of fabric or through a quilt “sandwich”. Suitable for all skill levels. Presented by Sharon Pederson from British Columbia Date: Tuesday, May 6 , 2008 Where: at the church, 8:30 am (set up) – 3:30 pm SIGN UP IN OCTOBER/JANUARY. Fee: $40.00

This relatively simple black and white quilt is designed for embellishment. After creating the quilt top, you will use all those fancy stitches on your machine, along with glossy threads, to create a wall hanging that will serve as the “test pattern” for your machine’s stitches. If you prefer, you can make the quilt in bright colours and use more simple stitching. Suitable for all levels.
